 ==Overview==
 The Harmony were a species who benefited from the patronage of the [[Traveler]]. The Traveler realigned the orbits of ten planets, including the Harmony's homeworld [[Ana-Harmony]], around a black hole, and in the black hole's polar jet, it built the [[Gift Mast]], a hollow construct that radiated pure silver [[Light]] and allowed the Harmony to thrive.<ref name="Forty Five">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XLV:_I.27d_shut_them_all_in_cells.|XLV: I'd shut them all in cells.]]''</ref> The Harmonious Flotilla Invincible guarded the Harmony core worlds and the Nicha Thought-ship, a ship of unknown purpose.<ref name="Forty One">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XLI:_Dreadnaught|XLI: Dreadnaught]]''</ref> The Harmony figured out how to weaponize their black hole and use its accretion disc to fire relativistic plasma jets; this was called the "Harmony Sting".<ref name="Forty Five"/>
+The Harmony had a relationship with the [[Ahamkara]], whom they called upon to grant wishes in times of need. An Ahamkara bone originating from the Harmony would one day make its way into the hands of Emperor [[Calus]] during his tenure as ruler of the [[Cabal]].

 ==Trivia==
-*The description of the Harmony's usage of "dragon-wishes" may mean the Harmony gods were related taxonomically in some way to the [[Ahamkara]], who appeared on [[Earth]] when the Traveler arrived. The Ahamkara's presence in relation to the Traveler strengthens the possibility.
-*Notably, the Harmony are the only other species apart from the [[Dakaua]] to have no physical description. This and their usage of "dragon-wishes" has led to the misconception that they were draconic.
 *The Harmony were the first recorded species to be attacked by the Dreadnaught following its creation, and also the first to fall victim to its [[Oversoul|superweapon]].
-*It has been suggested that the very name "Gift-Mast" implies that the Traveler was aware of the Darkness' approach, and engineered a device that would enable the Harmony to use their black hole as a kind of {{Plain|[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_engine#Class_A_(Shkadov_thruster) Shkadov engine]}}, a hypothetical device which uses stars for propulsion, to flee.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyLore/comments/5hsbp6/discussion_quasars_and_the_gift_mast/db4kneu/ '''reddit''' - ''Catch_66 comments on Discussion Quasars and the Gift Mast'']</ref>
+*The so-called "Sting" of the Harmony which harnesses the black hole's jet as a weapon is almost identical to a Nicoll-Dyson beam, a (purely hypothetical) megastructure/weapon that uses a sun's output as a weapon.
